Manin's algebraic geometry textbook? - MathOverflow most recent 30 from http://mathoverflow.net 2013-06-19T09:00:00Z http://mathoverflow.net/feeds/question/72068 http://www.creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/2.5/rdf http://mathoverflow.net/questions/72068/manins-algebraic-geometry-textbook Manin's algebraic geometry textbook? sisn 2011-08-04T06:23:03Z 2012-05-14T11:33:02Z <p>Context: I recently chatted with a postdoc from russia, and we somehow got on the topic of learning mathematics and textbooks, and he told me about a wonderful textbook by Yuri Manin, on algebraic geometry which was written at the beginning of the seventies and wildely used for a long time in the former SU. He was so full of praise that I decided to check it out.</p> <p>Now the problem I checked our library catalog and amazon.com and can't find anything that I can identify as this AG-textbook. </p> <p>Question: So does this book exists? What's it's title? Was it maybe not translated?. Q2: If anyone has anything interesting to say about the book this would also be appreciated.</p> <p>PS: I also speak german so if you know a german translation please also post.</p> http://mathoverflow.net/questions/72068/manins-algebraic-geometry-textbook/72069#72069 Answer by David Roberts for Manin's algebraic geometry textbook?
